Course outcomes: The students should be able to:
• Design and implement algorithms for 2D graphics primitives and attributes.
• Illustrate Geometric transformations on both 2D and 3D objects.
• Apply concepts of clipping and visible surface detection in 2D and 3D viewing, and
Illumination Models.
• Decide suitable hardware and software for developing graphics packages using
OpenGL.
Question paper pattern:
The question paper will have TEN questions.
There will be TWO questions from each module.
Each question will have questions covering all the topics under a module.
The students will have to answer FIVE full questions, selecting ONE full question from each
module.
